Diabetes is a condition found in many species, including hamsters and humans. It is where the body is unable to break down sugars either because there is a lack of insulin (type 1) or the insulin does not work properly (type 2). This causes high sugar levels in the blood and urine. Diabetes is more common in dwarf hamsters than Syrians, especially in Campbell’s, ‘Russian’ hybrids and Chinese. Studies1,2 have shown that diabetes in the Chinese hamster behaves more like type 2 diabetes, whereas anecdotal reports suggest diabetes in Campbell’s behaves more like type 1. Feeding a diet low in refined sugar may help prevent hamsters developing diabetes.
